I'm trying to play an file720.mkv file to hdmi with omxplayer but I'm getting only choppy audio with no video.

omxplayer -g -o hdmi file.720p.HDTV.x264.mkv

omxplayer -version

I've searched and I feel I am the only person with this problem.

Thanks for any help.

1 Answer 1

Reset to default
2

Apparently, omxplayer does not support the *.mkv file I was trying to play. I played an *.mp4 file and it played beautifully. Disappointing that omxplayer doesn't support more formats. I also tried another *.mkv and it worked so the orginal file that was giving me problems must have been corrupted somehow.
